Israeli bulldozers on Tuesday demolished a residential building in Beit Hanina owned by a Palestinian family, north of occupied Jerusalem, under the pretext of having no building permit.

PNN correspondent in Jerusalem said the Israeli occupation forces formed a military cordon around the area and prevented citizens and photographers from approaching the demolition site, while Israeli municipal crews  evacuated some of the contents of the building did not allow the family to dismantle any of the furniture or grab any special items.

An ambulance also arrived to the spot to transport one of the owners who suffered a nervous breakdown because of the demolition.
